IT. PAUL DEMOCRATS VIEW THE
CHICAGO CONVENTION IN DIF
FERENT WAYS.
DOES NOT SUIT MANY OF THEM
WHILE OTHERS THINK IT IS
JUST WHAT THE PEOPLE
DESIRE.
HOME EMPHATIC EXPRESSIONS.
Judge Flandreau and F. W. MKTutcU
eon "Will Have None ot It—
Other- Like It.
l rhe same difference of opinion as to
the platform adopted at Chicago pre
vails in St. Paul as it did in the con
vention that adopted the platform.
The sound money Democrats repudiate
It as being anything but Democratic
doctrine, while those of the opposite
Views think it is just the proper thing
and that it will result In victory for
Bryan this fall. The following ex
pressions are a fair sample of how the
matter Is regarded in St. Paul:
Pk-rce Butler— What do I think of the plat
form? Well, on (he money question, and I
suppose that Is the paramount issue, I think
the declarations of the platform are wholly
and strictly in accord with the principles of
the Democratic party. There is talk of re
pudiation and unsound money among the op
ponents of free silver, but in my opinion,
the only repudiation to be inferred is the
entire overthrow of bossism In Democratic
politics. This is the people's cause and the
people have declared the issues upon which
they will wage the battle in the coming cam
paign. To me the platform is highly satis
factory, and is as entirely consistent with
Democratic principles as those upon which
Mr. Cleveland was elected, and particularly
the one upon which he won his greatest vic
tory. As for tho candidate, I do not think a
stronger nomination could have been made.
With a carefully selected running mate, Mc-
Lean, of Ohio, for instance, I believe the
cause of free silver will win a splendid
victory in the fall, which will prove the virtue
of its principles.
John E. Stryker— l have not yet made up
my mind just to what extent I shall be ef
fected by the measures agreed upon in Chi
cago. I am a Democrat, and should like to
vote the Democratic ticket, but whether under
the circumstances I can do so is yet an
open question with myself. I do not thiiik I
can vote for the Republican nominee, either,
and after due consideration I am of the
opinion that I shall have to take to the
woods.
J. G. Donnelly— Bryan and free silver is
what the people want.
H. J. Strouse — I do not care to be quoted.
C. D. O'Br.en— The people, said he, have
taken the powers of attorney away from the
bosses, and propose to run the country on
their own account. The convention at Chi
cago is a glorious one, glorious in its person
nel, glorious in its steadfastness to the rights
of the oppressed against the domination of
the money kings, and glorious in its achieve
ments, all of which will be ratified by the
people at the polls in November.
Judge Flandreau — I think the platform is a
budget of anarchism, nihilism and d— d non
sense, that's what I think of it. I read the
whole platform, clear through, and aside from
a few glitterng generalities and specious dem
agogy, that's all there is to it. I don't see
what those people at Chicago are thinking of.
The platform is bad from beginning to end.
As these fellows do not represent the Demo
racy or Democratic principles, it may be that
the Democratic party will meet later on, and
subscribe to other principles and another can
didate than the one chosen by the silverites.
The financial problem is a complicated one
and requires deeper study than the masses
will give it. They are satisfied to look no
deeper than the surface of things. But you
can put it down that we are a long way from
saddling free silver, with its attendant evils,
on the country. If the times should improve,
even the least bit between now and Novem
ber, you will see a revulsion of feeling, and
all this free silver nonsense will disappear.
T. D. O'Brien— l am fully in accord with
the platform adopted at Chicago. But right
or wrong, it is the honest declarafion of a
free people, and marks the beginning of a
revolt against machine politics and boss'.sm,
which is inspiring in the highest degree.
Dr. A. J. Stone — No earthly use for the
platform, but the highest respect for the
nominee.
O. O. Cuilen — Am inclined to think well of
both the nominee and platform, although I
have not studied the platform sufficiently to
pass an opinion.
F. W. ML Cutcheon — As a Democrat, who in
tends always to be a Democrat, and because 1
am a Democrat, I utterly repudiate the plat
form adopted at Chicago. That document is
an olla podrida of vlndietiveness, lunacy and
damnation, stirred up in a medium of Pop
ulism. It not only is not an expression of
Democratic doctrines, but the doctrines are
as opposed as are the pole 3to everything
that has been recognized as a Democratic
principle in the past. It Is a breach of the
contract under which we became Democrats.
No Democrat owes this platform or the candi
dates that stand upon it any allegiance. I,
for one, refuse to follow Mr. Bryan into the
quicksands of dishonorable ruin. Neither can
I vote 'for McKinley. I am among those who
believe, even in the face of this demon
stration of its present folly, that upon the
perpetuation of the Democratic party de
pends tbe hope of tbe perpetuity of free
institutions. The Republican party, I be
lieve, stands for the classes against the peo
ple. It is on organized attempt to monopo
lize and employ political power for the per
sonal profit of the accomplices in a con
spiracy that threatens ruin to the republic.
I Join with hundreds of thousands of other
Democrats, who refuse to be driven into
the ranks of the protective tariff pilferers, in
n demand for an independent, sound money,
Democratic ticket and a Democratic organ
ization which, when this fatal madness has
passed, can hand on the still-lighted lamps of
true Democracy to the party of the future.
It is quite as important for the nation that
this should be granted us as it is that the
Immediate danger of the moment should be
averted.
Patrick Conley— The man may be all right,
but to my notion the platform is all wrong.
Herculer- Kittson— Xo man in this coun
try can be elected on that Chicago platform
unless the voters go daffy before November.
L. L. May— Not ray kind, neither the plat
form nor the man.
Ex-Aid. Murphy— Bryan for me every time.
I am satisfied with the man and the plat
form. Talk about the hard times that the
gold men say free silver will bring, I'd like
to know if times can be any worse than they
are now.
John H. Ives— l don't know but that I would
have preferred to see Bland nominated, as he
is an older and more experienced man. but
after all, it isn't a question of men this time,
but a question of principle. I have always
contended that the time would come when
silver must be restored to the position it
held prior to tho demonetizing act of 1573.
"Whether it Is wise to take the step now, by
declaring for the free coinage of sliver at a
ratio of IG to 11. I do not know, but 1 am
willing to abide by the decision of the great
majority of the Democratic convention. And
the men constituting that majority are to
be admired and commended for their courage
in formulating a clean cut issue without
compromise.
Frank H. Huber — I am opposed to the plat
form. I do not bei'eve In the free coinage
of siivcr. I would not be surprised if the
(C'ld Democrats would call another conven
tion and nominate another candidate.
Benn Davis— Report states that Bryan is
a first-class, straight, honest Democrat of
the Jeffersonian school. I regard him as a
■lire winner. The platform couldn't be bet
ter. An educational campaign on the silver
question will increase the majority by at
least 23 per cent, and according to conserv
ative estimates, the popular vote is now 60
per cent In favcr of free silver.
John Giltinan— The American people have
declared their independence of European pol
icy In good time. If the existing conditions
were allowed to prevail for five or ten
7ears longer, we would be too weak to de
clare and maintain our independence. I
consider the nomination as strong as that of
Abraham Lincoln In ISCO.
Thomas J. Foley— l do not know as I am
able to say just what I think of it. If I had
to settle the question tonight I would vote
for the ticket.
Dr. J. A. Quinn— T em as firm a believer in
the principles of Democracy as anybody, but
I cannot say that I favor that platform. If
ecme one will tell me what an honest dollar
is 1 could tell better whether or not I am
for free silver.
Dr. J. G. MacNamara— T a:_ a Rapublican.
but I am In favor of the money plank adopt
ed in Chicago. I believe Bryan will sweep
the country.

MINNEAPOLIS.
OFFICE St» SOUTH FOURTH ITSBBT,
LOSERS ARE PJIY
SECURITY WAREHOUSE FOR THE
SECOND TIME VISITED BY
FIRE.
DAMAGE WAS FULLY $200,000.
LARGELY ON HOUSEHOLD GOODS
AND MACHINERY STORED IN
THE BUILDING.
CONDUIT SYSTEM APPROVED.
Council Takes Important Action Re
garding Electric \\ Ires— Mew*
of Minneapolis.
For the second time In its history the
Security warehouse, situated at 324, 326
and 328 First street north, has been
visited by a destructive fire, and one
half of tho building, that north of the
fire wall, Is a mass of smouldering
ruins and the contents a total loss.
At about 4:15 yesterday morning fire
was discovered In the rear portion of
| one of the upper stories, on the Fourth
avenue side of the building. The
watchman at once turned in the alarm,
and the department responded to the
| early morning blaze. It was a difficult
' fire to fight and although the water
j tower was brought to bear, with num
| erous smaller streams, the way was so
blocked to the water that little could be
j done aside from cooling the walls. The
fire worked down and toward the front,
and from a smouldering furnace, with
flames issuing from the windows, the
fire suddenly burst through the roof
and mounted high in the air above
the heads of the workers.
The upper floors being closely packed
with household goods, twine and other
inflamable material, the flames burned
fiercely, and it was soon found that all
that could be done would be to confine
the fire to the building, and save the
walls If Bossible. The streets were
soon a network of hose, and a sea of
mud, as old Mississippi was hurled
over the doomed building, but it was
fighting against odds. The roof fell in,
and with full vent the fire raged fiercer
than ever. Then the rear portion of
the Fourth avenue wall fell down to
the middle of the second floor, and the
floors themselves followed suit. In the
rear of the building, everything was
crushed through Into the basement, but
in the front the debris lay piled up to
the second story when the flames and
smoke in that portion had been sub
dued. In the center and rear of the
building, the fire still raged, although
confined within the four walls, and some
of the companies pulled out and went
heme leaving the others to fight the
smouldering ruins. The department
worked well, and at no time was there
any danger of the fire spreading.
The building was used as a ware
house by the following firms, each of
which had offices on the first floor with
their individual stocks scattered
throughout the building: Aultman-
Miller company, Akron, Ohio, samples;
Aermotoer company, Chicago, whole
I stock; Pitts Agricultural Works, Euf
! falo, N. V., one-half of the Northwest
| stock, valued at $30,000; Emerson
I Manufacturing company, Rockford, 111.,
i samples; Dowagiac Manufacturing
company, Dowagiac, Mich., samples;
Grand Detour Plow company, Dixon,
I'll., samples; Graham Paper company,
St. Louis, large stock; Vanstrum Sup
ply company, Minneapolis, large stock.
Owing to the great number of persons
and concerns who had household goods
and stocks in the burned structure, it
was found extremely difficult to as
certain the individual losses and the
probable total loss. Between 75 and 100
families had their household goods
stored in the warehouse, and a con
siderable quantity had but recently
been stored for the summer by people
who have gone to the lake. The value
of these goods is unknown except to
owners, as only their description and
not their worth was noted by the man
agement of the warehouse. One of the
occupants of the building who is famil
iar with the nature and value of the
contents said that the loss on the same
could not fall short of $200,000, but it is
probable that the entire loss Including
the building will not be much over that
figure. This loss is largely covered by
insurance, although many of the own
ers of household goods were uninsured.
The heaviest loss sustained by any
of the occupants was that of the Pitts
Agricultural company, of Buffalo. The
agent for the company, Mr. Brown,
places the loss at between $50,000 and
$60,000 which is fully covered by in
surance. The destroyed stock consisted
of threshing machinery, repairs and
samples.
WIBES TO GO UNDERGROUND.
Council Provides for a Conduit Sys
tem.
An extensive municipal conduit system for
electric wires of all kinds was provided for
' by tho city council last night. The cost of
the improvement will be, to start with, about
$90,000. The conduits will run under certain
[ business streets, as auxiliaries of the pres
-1 ent system, and will be brick tunnels three
1 feet wide and six feet high, each capable of
; accommodating hundreds of high and low cur
; rent wires.
The action of the council establishes a per
| maaent system of revenue, which will in-
I crease each year. It places Minneapolis upon
t an equal footing with the older and more ad
i vanced municipal governments in the East.
Mayor Pratt informed the Tribune that he
| was in favor of the plan, and would sign
! the resolution, believing the measure mer
! itorious. City Engineer Appleton is by the
resolution instructed to proceed immdiately
■ and the work will not materially delay the
| work of repaying the down town streets.
The amended ordinance governing the duties
; of the city sealer of weights and measures
: was passed. The system is now revised and
the office is placed on a salary basis, no fees
, being charged for testing and correcting de-
I fective scales. Hitherto, all fees in excess
j of $2,000 were turned into the general fund.
ihe salary of the sealer was left at $2 000.
j All defective scales are to be confiscated.
Bids were submitted for paving Western
avenue, and Seventh street, from Second to
Seventh avenue south, and were referred to
the committee on paving, to report at the
next meeting.
Six bids lor the city fuel contract were
submitted, and among them was one from
the Northwestern Fuel company. This con
cern asked that their bid be returned for
reasons not stated. Aid. Elliot moved that
the request te granted, but Aid. Rand,
Schwartz and Jennings were opoosed. The
latter held that in view of the annual com
i bination among the fuel men for the purpose
| of placing fictitious prices on coal, he be
j lieved it was not policy to return the bid
i until its contents were known. City Attor
; ney Simpson held that if the bid was re
ceived according to the advertisement, the
council had the right to open it in the face
! of tho rrotcst, unless the request was sub
! mitted before 7:30 o'clock.
Acting City Clerk Chapin stated the verbal
rccucst wa>! made to him at 7 o'clock by an
agent of the fuel company. The bid was or
] deicd opened.
A rcsclutlor. fathered by Aid. Loyc, was
I offered, in which the necessity of the Im
mediate construction of the proposed locks
and dams at Meeker island, was set forth;
! aad also requesting the government engi
neers to proceed witfi jfec work. Theresolu
tioa was adopted, and ctefk was instruct
ed to send the resolution to the proper au
thorities.

WINTHROP YOUNG DEAD,
Banker, Business Man and One of
the Early Settlers.
The people of Minneapolis, and especially
the old settlers and pioneers, will be shocked
and grieved to learn that Winthrop Young,
the banker and business man, is dead. The
end came suddenly, and was not in the least
expected. Mr. Young has been In excellent
health for such an elderly man. Several
weeks ago he had a slight attack of indiges

was able to be about Thursday he went
out driving alone and felt In fine spirits.
That night he retired and slept well until
about 3 o'clock in the morning, when his
wife was awakened by his hard breathing.
She called to him and then tried to wak»
him, but it proved of no avail. In a few
minutes the sleeper breathed his last. Dr.
Bracken was called as soon as possible, but
he could do nothing. He pronounced the
death due to heart failure.
Winthrop Young was born Sept. 18, ISI7,
at Waterford, Vt. He was well educated,
and entered upon a business career at an
early age. After engaging in various busi
ness enterprises at his home and other
places he came to Minnesota in the days
when the country was a wilderness and In
dians plentiful. The year of the opening of
the war, 1861, saw him settled at St. An
thony. There he engaged in business, event
ually confining himself to banking, having
served as president of the Farmers' and Me
chanics' Savings bank for one term. He
was one of the starters of the Commercial
bank, of the East side, and served as its
president He was also a director of the
Northwestern.

Coroner Should Investigate.
GRAND FORKS. N. D., July 10.— There
seems to be something strange about the kill
ing of Amy Armstrong on the Cavalier
branch of the Great Northern Tuesday after
noon. No inquest has been held yet, and
will not be until Jennie Bechtei, the girl who
was injured at the same time, is able to tell
the story that undoubtedly will throw some
light on the matter. She Is still very nerv
ous and is unable to tell why they were on
the track or whether they were both asleep.
The train men are now positive that both
girls were at Cavalier when the train arrived
there about noon and probably two hours
befor the accident occurred, when the train
was on the return trip. As the engine neared
the girls on the track the little Bechtei girl
seemed to awake, and she raised her head
Just far enough for the cowcatcher to throw
her from the track. As soon as she is able
to tell her story the inquest will be held.

CHICAGO, July 10.— Rather heavy receipts
of new wheat, which Is beginning to come
on the market freely, together with the po
litical situation, made a weak wheat market
today, and September closed %c lower. Corn
lost %c. Other markets acted Independent
ly, oats and provisions both showing Im
provement. The one discouraging feature
of the early wheat news was another day's
heavy receipts of spring wheat, 163 of the
total receipts of 163 cars being new red
winter. September opened at 66%@56%e,
and af_er some considerable trading between
that and 560 the price went down to 65% c.
There was some reaction during the last
hour, mainly on covering by shorts and on a
report that 40,000 bu of No. 1 northern spring
had been taken for export September sold
up to 55%@65%c, where It closed. Corn was
Blow and weak; September opened %c lower
at 26% c, and, after touching 26% c, closed
easy at the opening price. With a fairly
good demand, a slightly better feeling was
noticeable in oats, prices ruling firm. Sep
tember opened a shade easier at 15% c,
touched 15%@15%c, and closed steady at
16% c. In provisions, the sharp decline of
the past two or three days encouraged a
little more buying. September pork closed
10c higher at $6.60; September lard, 7%c high
er at $3.67%; September ribs, 7%c higher at
$3.67%. Estimates for Saturday— Wheat, 160

MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Lisrht Trading With Some Weak
ness in Prices.
There was a light trade in wheat futures.
The government report expected in the after
noon naturally restricted trading all day, and
early in the session the market sagged off
fully a half-cent. Then with a little better
buying later a reaction occurred in which
the price advanced to about the opening point.
Ths news of the day was generally bullish.
There was a very quiet market for cash
wheat. Millers are not particularly anxious
to get hold of large quantities and the sell
ing side appears a little indifferent Receipts
of wheat were 178 cars. Shipments of wheat
were 35 cars. Duluth receipts of wheat were
240 cars. Flour output week ending July 4,
149,750 bbls. Following are closing quota

NEW YORK STOCKS.
Firm In Tone Hut Volume of Trading
Small.
NEW YORK, July 10.— The trading in
stockß today was of holiday proportions.
The movement of prices was irregular but
an improved tone was Imparted by higher
prices for American securities in London and
by the execution of moderate buying orders
for that account in this market. The in
dustrial shares were the features. The open
ing was dull and fractionally higher, la tha
ensuing dealings, further general improve
ments occurred. The volume of business was
not large, however, and about 11 o'clock
the unexpected engagement of $500,000 In
gold for export tomorrow resulted In a re
actionary movement. The downward trend
was of only brief duration and prices soon
steadied. Soon after midday marked weak
ness developed In the Industrials. In the
last hour speculation came almost to a stand
still.
The total sales of stocks today were 95,585

INVENTORS IN ASYLUMS.
Brainy People Who Are Kept Undear
Lock and Key.
"A lunatic asylum Is about the last
place any one would search in for in-»
g-enious and valuable inventions isn't
it?" said the resident physician of one
of the largest of these institutions, ao*
cording to a writer in London Answers.
"We have a patient in this asylum now
who believes he is shut up in the old
Fleet prison for the national debt. In,
the hope of raising the money to pay
this trifle off and obtain his release he
has for the last two years devoted hi.
poor brains to Inventing things*
Strange to say, among a host of utterly
absurd Ideas he actually has produced
two which are really practicable. His
friends and I have supplied him with,
such harmless materials as he requires,
and he has just finished a simple auto
matic contrivance for the head of a
lawn tennis racquet, to pick up the
balls and abolish stooping. It acts
perfectly well, and I'm so convinced
there's money in it that I've advised
his friends to* secure a patent for him.
in case he becomes cured. His other"
invention is of a different kind, being
a really efficacious preventive of sea
sickness.
"It's very simple; two of its com
ponents are in every kitchen and tha
rest in every chemist's shop. I have
successfully tested it myself on two
occasions recently when crossing the
channel In very stormy weather.
"As an instance of the cleverness of
lunatics, it may interest you to know
that a very valuable improvement con
nected with machinery, and now in,
dally use everywhere, was Invented
by the inmate of an asylum well known
to every one by name. As he is now
quite cured and is a somewhat promi
nent man, I won't mention any de
tails; but his invention designed and
modeled as a diversion while absolutely
insane, has since brought him in
thousands of pounds.
"A lunatic at an asylum where I waj
once assistant physician, invented a
flying machine and had a unique
method of suspending it in midair.
'Atmospheric pressure being fifteen
pounds to the square inch,' he said, 'X
have simply to exhaust all the air front
above my airship by an enormous ail*
pump fixed over the whole deck, and
the air pressure underneath will hold
the ship up.' I told him he'd need
another air pump on top of the first
one to exhaust the air that would be
pressing that pump down, and another
above it, and so one. ad lib., but he de*
clared he once made a model which,
had worked splendidly. He said: "It
flew about in the room like a bird.
Unfortunately, the window happened
to be open at the top and it flew out,
and so I lost It,' he lamented.
"The chaplain of an asylum in the
north once told me of a madman there)
who had a plan for laying a cable round
the world in two days. His idea was
to send up a powerful balloon to the
highest possible altitude, with a cable
attached. By the revolution of the
earth on its axis the cable, he declared,
would be laid completely round the
earth in twenty-four hours."
Miners Rescued from a Bad Trap,
Denver Republican.
News has Just been received of a serious
cave-in which occurred at the Eureka mine
at Remini, a small mining camp away up in
the mountains, in which two miners. Bob
Rollins and Miles Mc-Ginnis, were shut up
in the earth 4fo feet from the surface for
twelve hours. The cave-in occurred In a
drift in the 400-foot level, 300 feet east of
the main shaft. About 125 tons of rock fell
60 feet from where the men were at work.
A great quantity of water was flowing in,
and the cave shut it off from the pumps,
so that the miners were entombed in what
was supposed to be a watery grave. Tt took
fifty men twelve hours of hard work to res*
cue the entombed miners, who, when
reached, were in three feet of water, and
this, with the bad air, had so benumbed
them that they were almost unconscious.
